A 25-year-old IT professional from Manikonda allegedly faced sexual assault by a 24-year-old man she met on Instagram a month before. Accused identified as J. Siddha Reddy, 24, a resident of Balanagar and originally from Nalgonda, had met the woman on the social media platform a month ago.

Under the pretence of celebrating her birthday, Reddy, who had gained the woman’s trust over their online communication and subsequent phone calls, had invited her to his residence on Wednesday. The accused was employed with a private IT firm in the city.

The woman arrived at Reddy’s home in the evening, and the two shared a beer as part of the celebration.

According to the woman, she was subsequently sexually assaulted by the accused. She managed to escape the house and immediately contacted the authorities for help, NDTV reported.

The Balanagar police acted promptly on receiving the woman’s distress call, rescued her, and subsequently registered a case based on her complaint.

“We have charged the accused with rape. We have since arrested Reddy, and he has been sent to judicial custody," NDTV quoted Balanagar circle inspector Narasimha Raju as saying.
